Last Weekend...

Last weekend, while we were still in vacation mode, we decided to try out a few things here in Seattle that we have been wanting to do. Brandon has been wanting to take Ellie and I canoeing out on Lake Washington ever since the weather has gotten nice... so last Friday we decided to rent a canoe and go out on the lake. It was beautiful! We all had a great time... even though it really was rather exhausting! We chose the perfect day to go out.

We tried out a new Indian restaurant with our friends the Bagleys. Ellie was so excited to see her friend Hazel again.

After dinner we decided to go to the drive-in. We hadn't really planned this ahead of time so we didn't have a sitter for Ellie... so we decided to just bring her along. The show didn't start until 9:30 pm so we were worried about whether or not she would fall asleep. Well.. it turned out perfectly! She fell asleep on the drive down to the drive-in and slept for the whole show ....until about 15 minutes before the end. She woke up and was so excited! She got out of her carseat and was a little bit amazed at the big screen before her. We decided not to stay for the double feature seeing as she was never going to fall back to sleep while watching a show. But it was a great time!
